Tribal Recommendations and EPA Response

EPA originally asked the states and tribes to recommend whether or not areas were in attainment in 2000. Many states and tribes complied, but because
of continuing litigation, the Agency deferred designation action.

EPA asked the states and tribes to, by July 15, 2003, either reaffirm or revise their 2000 recommendations or submit new recommendations. EPA will make its final designations based on these reaffirmed, revised, or new recommendations. Tribal recommendations and EPA response letters are presented here. EPA will make final designations by April 15, 2004.

Green markers on the map below indicate tribes participating in the
recommendation process in 2003 (and possibly 2000). Blue markers placed
on the map indicate tribes that participated in the recommendation process
in 2000.

The documents listed below are tribes' submittals to EPA's request for
recommendations on the designations of areas for the 8-hour ozone standard
and EPA's responses to those submittals. EPA will make final designations by
April 15, 2004.

The quality of these PDF files are quite variable, and are the result
of the quality of the documents provided to Ozone Policy and Strategies
Group (OPSG) at this time. OPSG will update the quality and completeness
of these files as the documents become available.
